Import Tips

Verify average yarn number using official formulas from US notes (e.g

N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing, ensuring it meets 69+ for this subheading

Provide lab test reports confirming ≥85% cotton content and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification to lower-number fabrics

Include bleaching process documentation to confirm it's not dyed or printed, preventing shifts to HTS 5208.32 or 5208.42
